Bandit Level 0 -> Level 1

Level Goal

The password for the next level is stored in a file called readme located in the home directory. Use this password to log into bandit1 using SSH. Whenever you find a password for a level, use SSH (on port 2220) to log into that level and continue the game.

 

Commands you may need to solve this level

ls , cd , cat , file , du , find

• `ls` stands for list. Lists the contents of a directory, displaying the names of files and directories.
• `cat` stands for concatenate. Displays the contents of a file or concatenates multiple files.
• For this level, you’ll primarily use ls and cat. The other commands may be useful in later levels.

 

Write up

After logging into the Bandit server as `bandit0`, we start in the home directory by default. Use the `ls` command to list the files in the current directory:

bandit0@bandit:~$ ls
readme

 

 

This shows a file named `readme`. To view its contents, use the `cat` command:

bandit0@bandit:~$ cat readme
